The Smiths (well, Morrissey wrote the lyrics) were masters at this.
"There's more to life than books you know, but not much more"
"She said, 'I know you and you cannot sing'. I said, 'That's nothing; you should hear me play piano'"
"And if you ever need self-validation, just meet me in the alley by the railway station"
"Two lumps please, you're the bee's knees - but so am I"
but the ultimate is from Happy Mondays.
"I might be the honky, but I'm hung like a donkey"
Shaun Ryder was, of course, the "poet" in the infamous 24 Hour Party People poster; Ian Curtis being the "genius" and Tony Wilson being the "twat".
